Show Notes

On this episode of The Family Business Voice, Chris Mittelstaedt, founder and CEO of The FruitGuys, sat down with Ramia to discuss origin, both sides of cyclical economics and the future of his family business.

– The business, which grew out of the dot-com bubble, was faced with immense challenges when the bubble burst.

– Mittelstaedt’s defensive strategy through hard economic times paid off, and The FruitGuys rebuilt stronger than ever.

– Independent ownership means The FruitGuys can continue to live their values through their work with small farms and charities without any outside influence.
